‘Trump’ Gives Advice to Ted Cruz Before ‘Tonight Show’ Interview
Senator Ted Cruz made his debut appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and started off the night with a sketch. Fallon broke out his Donald Trump impression, orangy wig, and dapper suit to play the billionaire Republican presidential candidate. Fallon’s Trump character offered Cruz some friendly advice: “I’ve been on that show many times, so I thought I’d help you out and do a preinterview,” the host’s “Donald” tells Cruz, who responds, “I appreciate you being the bigger man, setting up Jimmy’s next line perfectly. “I’m the bigger man, with the bigger hands … and the bigger, you can’t see me, but I’m pointing at my Trump tower.” The two reminded us of the hands-to-penis-size comparison, which Trump has yet to live down.
“Donald” then asked Cruz, “You’ve already won your home state of Canada, now you’re in my home state of New York City, and people are still mad at you for saying that they had ‘New York values’ — what did you mean by that?” setting up Cruz’s smarmy response. “I’m not going to pander to New Yorkers. I love New York City; it is the greatest city in the world with the best-looking audiences,” to which he received tons of crowd applause, then continued: “So when I said New York values, I was merely trying to say I value New York, except I was saying it backward, the way Yoda would say it.”
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.
